Cooking Tips

Instant air fryer ovens cook all your favorite fresh and frozen oven-baked and deep-fried snacks—fast!

  • Use the preset Smart Programs as a starting point, and experiment with cooking times and temperatures to get the results you prefer.

  • Rotisserie-cooked foods and rotisserie accessories must be placed in the oven before touching Start.

  • With the exception of rotisserie-cooked foods, most foods benefit greatly from a preheated oven. Wait for the display to read Add Food before inserting food into the cooking chamber.

  • When cooking coated food items, choose breadcrumb batters over liquid-based batters to ensure that the batter sticks to the
    food.

  • For crispy, golden fries, soak fresh potato sticks in ice water for 15 minutes, then pat dry and spray with cooking oil before adding them to the air fryer oven.

  • When baking cakes, pies, quiches, or any food with filling or batter, use an oven-safe baking dish and cover food with foil or an oven-safe lid to prevent the top from overcooking.

  • The drip pan doubles as a flat cooking tray. Use the drip pan when cooking fragile or filled food

  • When cooking pizza, insert both cooking trays into the oven and place the pizza on the bottom cooking tray.

  • Pat moist food items dry before cooking to prevent smoke, splatter, and excess steam.

  • Air frying can cause oil and fat to drip from foods. To prevent excess smoke, carefully remove and empty the drip pan periodically throughout cooking.

  • To ensure seasoning adheres properly, spray food items with cooking oil before adding seasoning.

  • All oven-safe cookware is safe to use in the air fryer oven.
